OK, all you fathers, Sunday is your day, but that doesn't mean you have to stoke up the grill and cook ribs or burgers chased with a cold brew.

The Green Boheme restaurant has a more healthful alternative. And if there's one thing chef Brooke Preston knows, it's how to cook healthfully. Green Boheme specializes in "organic, raw, vegan, gluten-free, soy-free (dishes)."

On Father's Day, the restaurant will debut the Manly Man Quiche at a special brunch, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., with the regular dinner menu from 4 to 8 p.m.

Just what's in the quiche? "The ingredients include fresh zucchini, spinach and mushrooms; sunflower, sesame and flax seeds; cashew and macadamia nuts; and onion and chipotle powders, garlic, pepper, nutmeg and chickpea-miso paste," Preston said. "Tumeric and psyllium powder help achieve the egglike texture. One of the coolest things is we wrap it in zucchini bacon."

Dads will get 25 percent off the Manly Man Quiche, which will sell for $12.95.
